The translational symmetry of the ionic potential in a crystal results in a periodic electronic structure in momentum space. Analogously, the periodic electric field of an intense light pulse can create replica of electronic states. These so-called Floquet state are...

I will illustrate the paradigm of computational materials discovery, as applied to the case of two-dimensional and one-dimensional materials.First, a high-throughput study of experimentally-known inorganic compounds identifies promising candidates that could be...

The bandstructure of naturally occurring Bernal bilayer graphene exhibits four linearly dispersed Dirac cones [1] but changes drastically when large electric displacement fields are applied across the two layers. Here, tunable van Hove singularities lead to the...
